Column: Study medical weed more

My Arkansas News Bureau column this week is about medical marijuana. My take: If it helps certain medical patients, it should be legal – but only after it receives extensive study, just like we do with any other drug that is released to the public. The medical community needs to determine if smoking marijuana is beneficial and, if so, how best it can be administered. Law enforcement needs to weigh in on how marijuana can become a medical product without endangering other efforts to enforce drug laws.
